RHBA-2009:1099 - iscsi-initiator-utils bug fix update
Synopsis
iscsi-initiator-utils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated iscsi-initiator-utils package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The iscsi-initiator-utils package provides the server daemon for the iSCSI protocol, as well as the utility programs used to manage it. iSCSI is a protocol for distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over Internet Protocol networks.
This updated iscsi-initiator-utils package fixes the following bug:
- attempting to log in to targets which used the iSCSI protocol's login redirect feature failed due to a coding error in the IPv6 address parser. This bug has been fixed in this updated package so that address parsing succeeds as expected, and logging in to targets over IPv6 is once again possible. (BZ#501737)
All users using IPv6 with LUN targets which employ login redirect, such as EqualLogic targets, should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
